hey guys this time on Tim talks audio studio ones buses and routing using
buses or oxes isn't anything new in the world of pro audio auxes have existed on
large format consoles like SSL's and Neves
since the 1970s studio one makes it easy to quickly create and route to and from
these buses here I have a session with all my channels packed into folders to
help keep my main edit window looking clean and organized but I would love to
have access to one fader or be able to make an adjustment to a blend I've made
without changing the blend amounts welcome busing let me pull up my mixer
here as you can see it's very busy I have all of my channels and they're all
routed straight to my main output but let's take my base blend here you can
see I have three tracks and I roughed them into the sound I'm going for if
later on I need to make an automation move or want to leave my blend but duck
the bass out a little I wouldn't want to do that same move three times and try
and do the math to do it proportionally what I can do is route these three
tracks to a bus the easy way to do it is by clicking the first channel and then
shift clicking the last one this will select all of those channels in between
I can show you what I mean by just using my guitars here's the first guitar and
here's the last guitar and I'll shift click and now all of my guitars are
selected you could have also used the keyboard and selected the tracks by
combining shift and the arrow keys to highlight which tracks you want I'll
slide over to my bass substract by using the left arrow key and now I'll hold
down shift and use the left arrow key twice more to get both the DI and the
grindz channel now that the tracks are selected I can right-click on any one of
them and select add bus for selected channels I went ahead and made a
keyboard shortcut for this of option ctrl + B
it instantly routes those three tracks to this one new channel and now I can
take my blend and modify it as a whole and even put inserts on this bus as well
when I created my bus it put it after the last selected track that's an option
under the wrench menu if yours went all the way to the right you probably have
the grouping enabled I've turned mine off so it puts my bus after the last
selected track for Studio One prime users you can do a very similar thing
but instead of busses you can route to an FX channel the way to do this is by
first creating a new effects channel I'm gonna use my keyboard shortcut of option
shift + F to create a new effects we'll have to go back to our base and select
those three channels I'll just shift-click this time then you'll set
the output of the channels to our new effect Channel if you don't already see
the channels inputs and outputs you can click and drag up just above the panner
and the inputs and outputs will all be shown for every channel you can see my
base tracks currently are going to bus one and bus
one is currently going to my main output but we're gonna change where the base is
routed for the prime users and send it to the effects channel I had all three
selected and all three modified to the effects channel one thing for the prime
users about routing to an effects channel is that when they are created
they automatically have solo in place or solo isolation active you can quickly
disable this by shift-clicking that new effects channels solo button this
disables solo in place and now you have the same kind of bus that the artist and
professional users have that's all for now if you found anything in this video
